The Unknown: The Red Line.
  I understood the rules, falsely,
then realized why I don’t believe in them,
and so didn’t obey them


There was violence, though most of it was caused by William Vollman
After he shattered the teacup over Gillespie’s head
Stratton was subdued by state troopers with rifles
Frank objected that on the whole, we were insane
Scott believed this all meant something, and was taking notes
No, that is he was reading William’s notes, while bullets flew

We stole cars.
We were successful.
We drove long ways.
What is the difference between a contusion and a concussion?
a c no t and an s
What means vagary, furthermore, and what is the difference between that
And just more?

There was violence, though most of it was caused by William Vollman
After he shattered the teacup over Gillespie’s head
Stratton was subdued by state troopers with rifles
Frank objected that on the whole, we were insane
Subdued by state, insane
Violence of Gillespie’s head, shattered by teacup

There was violence, teacup. Vagary, troopers, William taking notes.
Though most of it, on the whole, subdued by William’s, Gillespie’s head,
Vollman was shattered. Scott believed we were insane while bullets over flew.
We, no, he, that this, taking notes,
objected, reading, rifles with the state,
Meant something,
After all, caused something.
